Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on January 5, 2016

DAY 9 - More great news - I got on the scale, & I weigh 231.6!!! WOOHOO!!! I dropped another .8 pounds!!! I see the 220's in my future!!! LOL!!!

Overall, today was a good day. I was able to get in over 6,600 steps. (Suffering now though - MY BACK IS SCREAMING!!! I think I did too much - LOL!!!). I was also able to do a few line dances. I felt sooo good dancing again!!! :-)

For lunch, I ate a piece of skinless chicken breast. I had planned on eating it with a salad, but I had a doctor's appt, & by the time I got back home, I decided to just have that as a snack & eat a more sensible meal for dinner. For dinner, I had Tilapia & some Asian mixed vegetables. I sauteed them in a little olive oil & butter, & those vegetables were DELICIOUS!!! WHO EVER THOUGHT EATING LIKE THIS WOULD FEEL SOOO GOOD??? Loving it!!! :-)

My back is really hurting, so I'm gonna pamper myself by taking a hot bubble bath by candlelight & sip on a hot cup of tea while I listen to some smooth jazz. :-)

Gonna call it a night. By the way, KITCHEN IS CLOSED!!! LOL!!!

Have a good night Everybody!!! Nitey night!!! :-)

My kitchen closes at 8 PM- usually! That has been really helpful for me, too. Great going, Adrienne!

Congrats, big progress!! Hope your back will feel better, once you slowly move into exercise again. Moving around usually helps my back - but the transition to that point is no fun. Get well soon!

Nice!! Pace yourself and you can do it! Same here: I think my back pain will go away faster, once I lose a few more pounds.

Thanks Biking Syl!!! Once we lose more weight, hopefully we'll get some back relief. That would be MARVELOUS!!! LOL!!!

It sounds like you're still following intermittent fasting, 17-18 hours from one night to the next lunch. Accurate? If so, how is it working for you?

Michael, you're close enough. I do intermittent fasting for 19 hours with a 5-hour eating window. I usually eat around 1 - 1:30pm, and I try not to eat anything after 6:00pm. Sometimes I eat my lunch a little later, & when I do, my dinner is a little later too. I'm really loving it!!! Michael, this is definitely working for me!!! Eating this way has helped me change my focus on always thinking about food & helps me focus on doing other things. I've tried the 3 meals a day, 2 snacks routine, but every time I put food in my mouth, I'd always be looking for something else to snack on or constantly looking at the clock & trying to figure out what I was gonna eat next, & that used to drive me CRAZY!!! Eating every 2-3 hours??? YEAH RIGHT!!! LOL!!! I love the way I'm eating, & I'm gonna stick with it!!! There will be times when I'll have breakfast with my family when I'm away on vacation, but as soon as I return, I'm getting right back into my routine. :-)
